The only one I didn't enjoy was Chocobo Tales, but does that seriously count...? I never played XI or XIV, so I cannot comment.

Just because you didn't like XII or XIII or whatever should give you a 'FFXIII sucks, the whole series sucks, I'm no longer a fan' mentality. Enjoy FF for the reasons you do/did. Just because you dislike one of the games, doesn't mean it taints the whole series.
But when the series begins declining in one's respective opinion, you cant help but feel like the series is somehow drifting away from its former glory. Its like a relationship, you start asking questions. "Is it just me?" The decline began for me when square decided they'd cast drainga on the wallets of its fans by creating a PayToPlay MMO. 12 had some great gameplay aspects, but failed where it counts, in the sense of having important characters and story. 13 tried to hard with the emotion etc, its sequel story was the most absurd of anything ive ever experienced. Im not high hopes for the company itself. They remake all final fantasy except the ones we want. They remake 1+2, 3, 4 add additional content to 5 and 6, remastering ffx. Its such a massive spit in the face to what we've been requesting all these years, for a remake of ff7 (im so sorry, but I had too). Instead, they remake everything but that and give us sequels to a game that hardly anyone gives a shit about. My loyalty is tied to the games and the respective people who made it possible. Whatever talent square had walked out the door with hironobu sakaguchi (the creator/saviour of company and series), nobuo uematsu (the reason we remember every song) and now what we're left with is fools creating spinoff's with the afterbirth of their successful fetus and a bunch of graphic designers getting off on lightnings character design to the point where they accidently made another sequel in their spare time whilst trying to write a lame storyline to some hentai erotica that they thought could work as an actual game that would make them enough money to continue their perverted obsessions.
